Re: Accessinf devices after install...
Never mind! I Missed that the floppy itself also has to have a
valid
filesystem before the "mount" will work. I was thinking I just
need to
get the "device" configured first and then I can worry about
formatting!
Well, now to my CDROM problem.....?

I have debian running on a desktop system now, all working fine
with network access - but I cannot access either my CDROM or FLOPPY
drives.
I've tried "installing" the drivers via "modconf",
but my first
problem is that my CDROM does not appear to be supported - at
least with the drivers that I have available (where do I go to get
a list of supported CDROMs)? [I have a Digital Research CDROM x36].
Next, though my floppy seems to have been "installed", I get
errors
when I try to mount it:
- kevin-dsl-212:/floppy# mount -t ext2 /dev/fd1u1440 /floppy
- mount: block device /dev/fd1u1440 is write-protected, mounting
read-only
- mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd1u1440,
- or too many mounted file
systems
How do you know which device to select in "/dev"? I tried
the one I thought
it should be (from the man pages and other docs), but got:
- kevin-dsl-212:/floppy# mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /floppy
- mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0,
- or too many mounted file
systems
Mind you, when I tried this again - I got the same errors, but the
floppy
did engage!
Baby steps indeed.....
As always, any help.....
